ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new Trypanosoma cruzi antigen, called
According to the invention, the nucleotide sequences of Tc100 and the amino acid sequences of PTc100 were determined and described.
PTc100 and Tc100, or fragments thereof, modified or otherwise, can be used directly or indirectly for the detection of Trypanosoma cruzi, or for the monitoring of the infection generated by the latter, in man or in animals.
